443 Upstate Pass
"Qingqing, you're back, Dad still thinks something happened to you!"
Seeing Ye Qingqing come in, a middle-aged man with a beard in the hall got up, his face full of concern.
"Dad, I was hunted down and killed today, if it weren't for these two fathers in time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen your daughter."
"What?! There is such a thing! ”
Lin Xinlong was furious and slapped the coffee table to pieces.
"Dare to do this kind of thing in my Yunshui City, I really don't know whether to live or die!"
Chu Yi and Zhongli Yujia glanced at each other, this city lord was a cultivator in the middle of the Xuan Realm, and it was not far from the late stage.
"It's the Situ family, and the leader is Bai Xiu."
Lin Qingqing said.
"Humph! This Situ Mountain, just targeting me, dared to attack my baby daughter, he was really looking for death! ”
"He wants to use me to threaten you to quit the Elders' Battle."
"Then I won't be able to fulfill his wish!"
Lin Xinlong came back to his senses, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said:
"Thank you two for saving the little girl, Lin Xinlong is grateful."
"The city lord is polite, and we are also doing it."
"I don't know what you call them?"
"My name is Chu Yi, and this is my retinue Zhongli Yujia."
Chu Yi said lightly.
Zhongli Yujia next to him flashed a look of grief on his face.
He is a dignified immortal figure, the existence of the powerful side, but now he has become someone else's retinue.
But when he thought of the terrifying strength of the other party, he was immediately relieved.
Hearing the word "entourage", a look of disappointment flashed on Lin Qingqing's face.
Immediately, he whispered a few words next to Lin Xinlong, and saw Lin Xinlong's face change, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"It turned out to be the grandmaster's face, forgive me for being clumsy."
"Come on, bring me a hundred spirit stones."
Lin Xinlong said with a high-five.
Hearing the word "spirit stone", Zhongli Yujia showed excitement on his face. He knew better than water the power of this currency.
In a few moments, a servant came with a plate of white stones.
The quality of those stones can only be regarded as low-grade spirit stones at best, and they are only the size of thumbs, but everyone's eyes are full of gold, as if they have seen a treasure.
Lin Xinlong was also proud, quite proud, as if it was quite remarkable to be able to come up with such a sum of money.
Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, but then understood.
In his eyes, although these spirit stones were nothing, and perhaps they were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Zhongli Yujia, a scattered immortal who was in the same direction, but in the hinterland of the Central Plains, compared to the relatively barren Yunshui City, it was a lot of wealth.
"Then Chu is disrespectful."
He was penniless now, and these spirit stones just solved his urgent need.
"As a token of gratitude, I will invite the two of you to enjoy the light tonight and attend the banquet in the house."
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Chu nodded in agreement.
There was still some time before the dinner, and Chu Yi and Zhongli Yujia went out into the street to hang out.
"If I want to reach the hinterland of the Central Plains, what route should I take?"
Zhong Liyu Jia immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"There are strict hierarchies in the Xuan Realm, and all lower-level states and counties need a pass if they want to go to a more advanced state and county. And these passes are in the hands of those gate lords and nobles in Shangzhou, and ordinary people can't get them at all, so I will say that we are unlucky. ”
He paused, then continued:
"Monks from Shangzhou can go to Xiazhou without hindrance, but it is difficult for Xiazhou to think of Shangzhou. This is also one of the means used by the major sects in the Central Plains to maintain their authority. ”
Chu Yi was slightly surprised:
"Doesn't that mean that people in the lower state will hardly be able to enter the upper state for almost their entire lives?"
"The vast majority of them are. However, if someone from the upper state is willing to take you with them, they can also enter, but they need to provide a guarantee. ”
In the Xuan Realm, the hierarchy is quite strict. Once someone from Xiazhou is found to have trespassed into Shangzhou without permission, they will exterminate the Nine Clans!
"Heh, the place is not big, the cultivation is not high, and there are a lot of rules."
Chu Yi shook his head and sneered.
He won't care about these restraints, it's a big deal to just kill them. As long as you have absolute power, you can't go anywhere in the world.
Walking and walking, the two came to a store called "Jin Pinxuan", and the enthusiastic shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him:
"The two friends are not locals at first glance. The small store has recently received a new batch of goods, all of which are from Shangzhou, and some of them are still new, do you want to go in and have a look. ”
"Let's see, then."
First, he had nothing to do, and secondly, he also wanted to see what treasures were in the Xuan Realm.
Led by the owner, the two walked into the store.
"This is a greedy wolf dagger, from the hand of a certain refining master in Leizhou, destroying gold and breaking jade, and even cutting the throat of the Xuanjing Grandmaster, I finally received it."
Seeing that the two were unmoved, he continued to introduce.
"Cicada wing double knife, as the name suggests, as thin as cicada wings, made of 100 refined steel, was once a personal weapon of a certain general in Shangzhou, and now we have also gotten it."
Several treasures were introduced in a row, and Chu Yi and Zhongli Yujia didn't even look at it, and the boss couldn't help but be anxious.
"What do you two want, give me an accurate word."
"You may not be able to get what I want."
Chu laughed.
The boss immediately shouted:
"Don't look at my small store, but the channels for purchasing goods are extensive. As long as you can afford the price, we can provide the best elixir! ”
The boss swore by it.
"In that case, it's the best."
Chu nodded a little:
"I want a pass to the state."
"What?!"
The boss was startled and looked at Chu Yi in horror.
Soon, his face returned to calm, and he said indifferently:
"Where did the brother come from?"
"Don't worry, I'm not a spy, and I don't want to probe your old bottom. Just tell me if you can get it. ”
"Shangzhou's pass, this is a scarce resource, and it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell, once it is discovered, it will destroy the nine clans, the risk is too great, so the price is not cheap."
"Money isn't a problem, as long as you can get it."
The boss squinted for a while and gritted his teeth:
"You will come to pick it up in three days, but you have to pay a deposit of one hundred spirit stones first."
"Yes."
Chu Yi casually threw out the spirit stone that had just arrived, and added:
"Don't forget, it's two."
Walking out of the store, walking around again, and in the evening, the two returned to the Lin family's mansion.
At this time, the huge Lin family was brightly lit, and people were going in and out, and it was very lively.
Plates of delicacies are served on the table, along with aged wines.
Chu Yi and Zhongli Yujia sat in the guest of honor as distinguished guests. Lin Xinlong raised his glass to make an opening remarks, and then introduced the situation of the two to everyone.
When they heard that Chu Yi and Zhongli Yujia were actually martial arts masters, everyone was moved.
The Xuanjing Grandmaster is a pivotal figure in the entire Xuanqing Prefecture, enough to serve as the lord of a city, or an elder to worship.
Lin Qingqing looked at Zhongli Yujia with a smile on her face, as if looking at her beloved, her eyes were full of love.
While everyone was staggering, there was a commotion outside the door.
Lin Xinlong put down his wine glass and had a gloomy face:
"What's going on?"
"City Lord, it's someone from the Situ family who is here!"
A servant came in to give a report.
"Why are they here?"
At the same time, laughter rang out, and a middle-aged man in a silver-white robe strode in, followed by eight ironclad guards.
"Situ Ye! What are you doing here?! ”
The elders of the Lin family took the case:
"You're not welcome here!"
"Heh, the Yunshui City Lord is such a big man, and before he sits in the position of the elder of the Burning Sun Sect, he will let the dog bite people."
Situ Ye shook his head and sneered.
"Today is my Lin family's family banquet, outsiders are not welcome, Brother Situ, please do it."
Lin Xinlong said without being salty.
"Hmph, don't worry, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment."
"Lin Xinlong, I'm just here to remind you that the position of elder is already in the pocket of my city lord. There's a big guy up there to carry him, so you should die as soon as possible. ”
"Situ Ye, can you think of this kind of pediatric trick? It was an eye-opener. ”
Lin Xinlong sneered.
"Heh, believe it or not, when the time comes, it will annoy that big man, and it will be your Yunshui City who will suffer."
After Situ Ye finished speaking, he squinted at Chu Yi and the two, and said with a joking face:
"It's you who killed Bai Xiu and them? It's really bold, I don't know how thick the sky is, and I'm ready to accept the endless pursuit of my Situ family. ”
After Situ Ye finished speaking, he turned around and left under the escort of a group of ironclad guards.
At this moment, a chuckle came:
"Who let you go?"
